Congrats to Nick Hoelzer from Nederland HS He will swim for D-II Grand Canyon University in Phoenix Signed with them today...best of luck to him!

State pairings are based on season records...the UIL sets the match-ups.

FF, Thank you for the details about the FW coaching situation. Tinker (no, you shouldn't say LP)

Just curious, FF, why don't you think you have a real coach? Please explain how a "down year" results in the state finals without a "real" coach? I mean, really?!?!...really, tell us about that comment...

1-0 Midway almost half-time

Wow! thought it would be worse by now

scholarships are out there but the player must be willing to go...more than 100 miles from home! kids around here have a hard time with this concept OR maybe it's the parents who don't want their children that far away from home...really, it's true! you have to want to play wherever the opportunity presents itself...McNeese and U of H are the close by, but it's tough to get a look from them even though SE TX is in their backyard. several JC's, like Hill and Navarro have good programs and those are stepping stones to the 4 year schools. AND athletic money is not as readily available as some may believe. the academic money is usually coupled with a bit of athletic scholarship dollars. FULL RIDES are few and far between....that's a fact!

After Lumberton put in the 2nd goal, Nederland pounded out a number of opportunites...kept fighting...just could not put it in... So proud of Nederland's two playoff victories....they hadn't won in the playoffs since '05. Great season....best of luck to the Raiders.

Nederland vs. Lumberton for the third time this season Should be interesting... Hope NED can hold'em under 14 ;D

Hello? Bianca Garza Nederland !!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Dogs!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty poor center ref...Huntsville quit playing the ball and just hammered NHS girls, but sometimes that's part of it. Proud of Ned for their composure and desire to win the game Good luck against Lumberton

Tuesday is for playoff seeding...they're co-champs

A point of information: in high school soccer there is just one overtime, no double overtime, it's not like basketball...overtime is defined as two 10-minute overtime periods with 2 minutes between overtime halves...it's just overtime.

FYI...anything PNG knocks in the penalty box is recorded as a shot...Lumberton had more scoring opportunities in that game...btw Brenham is better than anyone around here and maybe better than Friendswood...time will tell

Great soccer game at Nederland tonight...both teams played hard, hard, hard! FYI...the AR on the PNG sideline called offsides well before the PNG shot was taken...that's why the center ref waved off the goal. No controversy...should be another great match Tuesday. Best of luck to both teams.
